James will not comment further on his decision to join the Lakers, according to a report from ESPN.

James averaged 27.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season. He upped those numbers to 34 points and 9.1 rebounds during Cleveland's run to the NBA Finals, where they were swept by the Golden State Warriors.

James, a 14-time All-Star and four-time MVP, spent the first seven years of his career with Cleveland before he signed with the Miami Heat as a free agent prior to 2010-11. He played in Miami for four seasons and won two championships before he re-signed with the Cavaliers in July 2014.

Cleveland have advanced to the last four NBA Finals since James returned and they won the title in 2016.

All signings will not be official until the end of the NBA moratorium period on July 6.
